DC Relaunching Everything in the Fall?

I'm rather liking Tim's new costume as well. Or at least the idea behind it. I think it's just a bit too busy with all the strappings and pads and stuff. Trim some of that back and it'll be pretty good.

Kid Flash's suit... is a mess. At least now we can see that those aren't big ol' red eyebrows, but actually part of the cowl that just looks like big ol' red eyebrows. That's also a very odd cut to the cowl, just looks weird in the second image. Really though, like Tim's, this costume is just way too busy. Keep the lightning motif trims, but lose the "ringer" bolts at the waist and forearms. And do something with that rather derpy cowl. It's like taking all the worst aspects of cowls and boiling them down into one really bad iteration. And finally, if that is supposed to be Bart as they've said, well, BART IS NOT A REDHEAD.

Superboy's non-costume continues to evolve into something completely unrelated to both Superman and superheroics. I disliked the T-shirt and jeans combo when it first came out... and this is looking even worse. Why couldn't the return of his awesome second costume be done here instead of this rather uninspired dreck?

Wondergirl's isn't too bad. It's combining the looks of a couple of previous WG suits and still adding its own flair to them. Not really digging the scarf bit though. Just looks out of place.

And I have no idea who Smog Lass, Spider Girl or Fist Person Thing are. Does anyone know?

Still waiting for his Official BackAlleyBrawler No-Prize

random thoughts of the day...

could the use of the high collars in the majority of the designs be a defense against the new vampires of the DCnu?

Also, does it bother anyone else that the picture of the Dcnu Frankenstein makes me think of a cheap copy of Hellboy?

The cover pic of Batgirl, It seems to me show a metallic shine to most everything from the neck down, except the gloves, which have what looks like extreme grip design for rope line swinging and climbing..could the reason she is moble be that she is wearing a ironman type suit, and thus could still be wheelchair bound? That could explain the large smile on her face, the freedom of motion..

Blame all the bad costume decisions on Jim Lee as he's apparently the one that redesigned them all

Tim's costume has me torn... I like it, but he chose that costume, name for a reason, and he chose the full cowl for a reason and with switching the costume it makes the journey lose meaning. However I do like the costume and shows an evolution in his costume design.


The smoggy girl character in the titan's pic could be Secret for Young Justice

Wonder Girl's costume looks like a gypsy costume, meh.


If Barbara Gordon takes back over the mantle of Batgirl because she can walk now...I'd be pissed. She stopped being Batgirl before she was shot and it would be wrong to just take it from Stephenie...which implies either the writers don't those stories and/or Something bad is going to happen to Ms. Brown...again.

Ya know what this reboot is starting to look like?

Stormwatch is a dangerous super human strike force whose existence is kept secret from the world. Jack Hawksmoor and the rest of the crew look to recruit two of the deadliest super humans on the planet: Midnighter and Apollo. And if they say no? Perhaps the Martian Manhunter can change their minds. Featuring a surprising new roster, STORMWATCH #1 will be written by the critically-acclaimed Paul Cornell (Superman: The Black Ring, “Dr. Who”) and illustrated by Miguel Sepulveda.

Quote:

Even when Gotham City was just a one-horse town, crime was rampant – and things only get worse when bounty hunter Jonah Hex comes to town. Can Amadeus Arkham, a pioneer in criminal psychology, enlist Hex’s special brand of justice to help the Gotham Police Department track down a vicious serial killer? Featuring back-up stories starring DC’s other western heroes, ALL-STAR WESTERN #1 will be written by the fan-favorite Jonah Hex team of Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and illustrated by Moritat.

Quote:

A metahuman mercenary who made a living taking out the toughest targets, Deathstroke will reclaim his fearsome legacy by any means necessary in DEATHSTROKE #1, a new series from rising star Kyle Higgins (Batman: Gates of Gotham) and artists Joe Bennett and Art Thibert.

Quote:

Ex-black ops agent Cole Cash is a charming grifter that few can resist. And yet he’s about to be branded a serial killer when he begins hunting and exterminating inhuman creatures hidden in human form – creatures only he can see. Can the biggest sweet talker of all time talk his way out of this one when even his brother thinks he’s gone over the edge? Find out in GRIFTER #1, written by Nathan Edmondson with art by CAFU and BIT (the team behind T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS).

So...ok, I'd forgotten the Wildstorm was part of DC, but what happened to the original Image lineup of STORMWATCH, and the rest of the WildCATS, for that matter?

Couldn't they keep the old look of Supergirl while giving her the new costume (which just seems like a reason to say "look no pantie shots")?

Grifter is looking good.

Red Robin, I'll say it again, I personally love the outfit.

Harley Quinn, love her outfit, but it doesn't seem like the Harley Quinn I love.

That said, maybe this reboot will get me back into DC again.

Wait...Jason Todd is alive?!?
